I want to make my Win98 look like XP, but...

from WinCustomize Forums
I got WindowBlinds 3 and thecat's LunaXP skin.
I got IconPackager and The XP Icon set (v2 and v3).
I got WebBlinds and Alexandrie's LunaUI for it.

Now, why my taskbar doesn't look like the one from WinXP? Wasn't thecat's WindowBlinds LunaXP Skin supposed to change it? Im puzzled, help me!

PS: If anyone know better skins for a XP-look, then tell me!

Thank you for the great work!

Yup

Hint to Stardock: Combine the two programs already or offer a discount for buying WB and OB together.

We do have the programs combined. It's called Object Desktop and it's only $49.95.

lol I know, Brad. I'm a happy OD subscriber myself. What I meant was something more along the lines of a WB/OB combo for those who want to change their desktop but don't want all the extras OD ships with (heathens that they are )

Yes, and my Skin in question was *NOT* designed to replace the Start Menu Bar This is some thing done by Object Desktops ObjectBar. Skins like my Luna skins only acompliment the Change of Visual Style from 9x style to WinXP Style.

Go one.. Get OB..You KNOW you WANT to You wont regret getting it

Or you can try Desktop X, it has a few XP themes.

Fire - yea, I was being facetious.

But really, OB and WB combined woudl be $40. So for $10 more you get DesktopX, IconPackager, WinStyles, ControlCenter, WindowFX, SkinStudio, etc.

Stardock's dirty little secret - it's not the $20 sales that pay the bills, it's OD sales. If everyone who bought ODNT instead just bought say WindowBlinds, we'd be sunk.
